Bryan Kohberger to be sentenced as Idaho murder victims' families share impact statements today

Bryan Kohberger is set to be formally sentenced at a hearing after pleading guilty to the murders of four University of Idaho students in 2022. 

Kohberger's sentencing hearing is set to begin at 9 a.m. Mountain Time Wednesday, which is 11 a.m. Eastern. It is expected to last the day, with some scheduled breaks, although the judge said it could be extended into Thursday to ensure there is enough time for the families to read victim impact statements.

The hearing will be open to the public and livestreamed, the court said. More than 50 people were lined up before dawn outside the Ada County Courthouse waiting to get in, with some having waited there all night.
